Chapter 272: Infinite Reversal

The movements of the Lord of Contamination grew weaker.
At the same time, a flash of light appeared, and Hedy’s figure emerged on the ground.
Dressed primarily in black, a tight-fitting skirt with a black base and white edges covered up to her thighs, silver cross patterns clasped at her abdomen on either side, a deep black cloak gently billowed in the breeze.
She took out something resembling a conductor’s baton and made a light sweep.
The contaminated creatures lined up before Hedy.
“You lost,” Hedy closed her eyes. The contamination had tormented her for hundreds of years, but all of this would come to an end today. The tragedy of Sun Wheel City would never happen again.
“…” Walwa was already kneeling on the ground in pain, unable to speak, lacking any semblance of a lord.
Although he wanted to go down and finish off the boss, given the current situation, it was easy to be counterattacked by the boss, so it was better to wait a little longer.
“Mo Se, move a bit closer,” Zane tossed aside his watermelon and pointed at Hedy.
“Swish!” Jia You complied slowly and crawled forward.
Suddenly, behind Hedy, another flash of white light appeared. Who was coming?
Did the Unyielding Sword resurrect?
It was not Aima as expected, but an old man like a flickering candle in the wind.
He walked towards Hedy with slow, deliberate steps. “Miss… you finally did it. I knew you could…”
Hedy turned to look and bowed her head. “Butler…? I’m sorry for all the endless loneliness you have suffered over the years… it’s all because of me, my stubbornness back then…”
“It’s fine…” Weil shook his head and leisurely walked up behind her.
“As long as you…”
Ah!!

The rusty blade pierced through Hedy’s chest and was then forcefully pulled out by the butler.
“…Just don’t let the lord’s rebirth happen.”
A shocking damage of 37k! Instantly, Hedy’s health dropped to only 25.9%.
“Hey…” Hedy spat out a mouthful of black blood and then knelt down.
The Lord of Contamination struggled to rise.
Looking at the ratio again, the situation flipped a second time, changing to 45:55!
“Damn!” Luan Chen couldn’t help but curse; he had a feeling that old man was untrustworthy, and it turned out he was a traitor!
Prayer—Spirit Heart!
Voice of Foolishness!
+0
Damn it, with the curse of contamination, the wounds cannot heal.
“Prayer—Blazing Fire!”
At this rate, they could only take down the butler!
“Hehe, little girl, there’s no need to rush.” Weil retreated as soon as he received damage, still maintaining 90% of his health. “Soon… it will be your turn.”
Even with a Silver Grade panel on the surface, his combat awareness was formidable.
However, what the butler didn’t expect was that [Starry] was even faster, unleashing the Frenzied Sword Arts on the insect!
Hmph!
-10436
Weil’s health plummeted immediately to 50%.
Even with his attributes halved, the damage from Starry was something he couldn’t easily endure.
After the Frenzied Sword Arts hit, the old man lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to do something, a giant beetle came crashing into him!

At the moment of takeoff, Alu casually tossed an ice dart, perfectly taking out his remaining health.
“Butterfly Dance, bring Hedy up!”
Seeing the contaminated creatures gradually slipping out of control, Zane quickly said.
“Okay!” The little butterfly jumped down, and in less than half a minute, returned with a weak Hedy in her arms.

Damage popped up every second; without timely treatment, death would come in 1297 seconds, approximately 21 minutes.
But… the curse of contamination still existed, leaving no way to heal.
“Butterfly Dance, can you put her into a dreamscape for Treika to save her?” Zane said in panic.
“No, the dreamscape and reality are separated.” As she spoke, the damage numbers continued changing.

…
This corrosion was actually strengthening?!
“Hahahaha!! Just a little more, just a little more, and you would have truly succeeded… for that brief moment, I felt fear. I must say, you performed extremely well. As a thank you, I will let the contamination devour everything here. Consider yourselves lucky!”
No one had the time to pay attention to his self-mockery; attacking the Lord of Contamination was now meaningless. If Hedy died, the Lord would restore all states to their peak, and all the damage dealt would have been in vain.
“I’m sorry… I couldn’t do it.” Hedy grasped the soft little hand of the golden-haired loli and shook her head.
Tears dropped onto the dark back as she weakly said, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry, I couldn’t save anyone. I let down your expectations… I’m sorry…”
“No need to say that… we didn’t expect the butler’s betrayal either.” Zane sighed.

Seemingly sensing life slipping away, Hedy endured the pain in her chest and sat up. “Let me down…”
“Why?”
“I will hold him back, using my last bit of energy to buy you time to escape… let this be… my remaining wish.”
“No need.”
“…Do you all wish to die here together?”
“We won’t die; none of us will die.” Zane shook his head, looking her in the eyes. “Hedy, do you trust me?”
“…Of course I trust you, but to say such things at this time…” Hedy didn’t understand how the golden-haired loli in front of her could still have any means of resurrection at a time like this.
Gently, Zane took off the necklace from her spine and requested, “Butterfly Dance, Alu, can you help me stall for a while? Just a little while.”
…
Aiming the necklace at Hedy, she seemed to sense that something was about to happen, and everything fell silent.
This was the third target after Wolf and Alna, merging the blood of contamination and mastering the Summoner of the Void. I hope nothing goes wrong.
“Transcendence!”
A wisp of white smoke floated from Hedy’s body, being absorbed into the ruby.
The color of the gem began to change, shifting from red to black, from black to purple, and back to red, repeating this cycle.
This process would take a few minutes.
I don’t know how long they can hold on…
“Big Brother… we did our best.” At the same time, the little butterfly with half health turned back with the nearly dead goblin in hand.
No way!? This is just the beginning!
“Don’t blame them; the Lord of Contamination has become stronger.” [Starry] frowned and said heavily, “I’ll go.”
In reality, with halved attributes and a fatigued body, she didn’t have much confidence.
“No need, don’t you know your condition? Mo Se, run!”
“You can’t escape—!!” the Lord of Contamination said in a deep voice, his body transforming into purple jelly and surprisingly outpacing Mo Se!?
Just as Mo Se barely dodged a contaminated projectile, the air became scorching.
All Blades—Crush!
The man’s powerful voice sounded from behind.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, countless heavy swords appeared in the sky, falling like a torrential rain!
-76492
-39611
-38007
…
The Lord of Contamination’s health returned from 75% to 32%.
In just one move, 43% of the boss’s health was taken away!?
Not only that, the moment the sword rain ended, the man retracted his stance, and fierce red flames ignited on the heavy sword. Accompanied by a single sword strike, the intense sword aura struck Walwa.
Legendary sword technique—Explosive Fire Sword

This was just the beginning, as a continuous storm of sword energy flew out,
-136644
-138079
Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, Aima single-handedly wiped out the entire health of the Lord of Contamination.
“Single… solo kill!?” Zane looked at the necklace ceremony, lost in thought.
What was she busy doing?
